Most Beautiful Cities of the Americas
We always hear that Europe has the most beautiful and awe-inspiring towns on Earth. Cities like Berlin,Rome,Paris,Rome, London,Barcelona,Vienna,Amsterdam,etc are always in the top lists. Asia and Africa can boast as well,but I would like to concentrate on the Western Hemisphere. Most of our cities, except for big famous ones like New York,Los Angeles, and Mexico City, are barely known to outsiders. So I have designated this thread as one that will contain photos of some of our most beautiful cities. I think a lot of them are unique because they have a mix of architecture from around the world. So, let's start with Canada southward with Quebec City.

This is just one example of the different kinds of cities that are right here. Guess it's as European as you can get in Canada. Let's get started.

P.S. NO CITY V.S. CITY postings! This thread's purpose is to showcase the beautiful cities in the Western Hemisphere. Nothing more, nothing less.

San Francisco belongs on this list. The vista of the Bay and the City as you exit the tunnel from Marin heading onto the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most spectacular anywhere. It never fails to make my heart beat faster.
